Glass Ceiling Disco
Digital Mixed Media Glitch. Original .png submitted and not accepted to Pussy Riot x SaveARTSpace billboard campaign for 2022. Glitched and modified to fit your television screen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since it's creation, Glass Ceiling Disco has been exhibited internationally at SXSW, @TEDTalks, NFT NYC, Searchlight Atelier, multiple virtual and in person galleries and Fylthy Trash Art Exhibit in Los Angeles. The day it was at TED talks in Vancouver funnily enough, it was in LA also projected in an alley by a dumpster in LA to actualize the idea of "Empress Trash" on a international scale.
Glass Ceiling Disco is a vision of how crypto and nfts will help shatter the glass ceiling that many traditional markets and institutions have in place for women, PoC, LGBTQ and other marginalized populations. This piece I purposefully priced higher as part of the magic of it, because this piece is about my hopes of the crypto art spaces future in shattering glass ceilings of traditional art markets, not just for myself, but for other women and LGBTQ+ and trash/glitch/experimental art creators. It depicts my doc martens dancing on a bed of broken glass, which is what I see as the broken glass ceiling.
These docs I wear to every event I go to because they help me feel grounded and safe surrounded by strangers. As a survivor of childhood and domestic abuse, any tool to feel a little safer navigating the world helps, and these docs are like a safety blanket for me.
Further I chose the energy of joy to be in the piece, instead of critiquing how markets are still currently imbalanced for women artists as a whole, because it is the joy I am trying to manifest. The bright colors are the celebration and the glitch animation is the disruption which is needed of the systems for equity to happen.
While this work is still available for purchase, the message and ethos was heard and resonated instigating change for myself, the crypto art systems and focus, and beyond in ways I still can not comprehend. These two boots carried me from a relatively obscure underground artist to international recognition. I wonder where else these boots will lead me?
Some day we will dance on the glass to celebrate hearing the crunch under our feet.

Context Matters
To paraphrase Marx in the 18th Brumaire, we make our own history, but not just as we please; we make it under circumstances existing already and encountered.
Artists everywhere encountered a significant disruption in the art world beginning in 2008. I've found Sarah Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World quite useful in understanding the importance of gallery representation, fairs, auctions, press coverage, biennales, etc. to art career success. But because it was published in 2008, what was intended as a guide to the contemporary art market became in some ways instant archeology.
Take this quote from the introduction, for example: During the past eight years, the contemporary art market has boomed, museum attendance has surged, and more people than ever were able to abandoned their day jobs and call themselves artists. The art world both expanded and started to spin faster; it became hotter, hipper, and more expensive. (xi)
I was struck by this introduction because that eight-year time period 2000-2008 exactly overlaps with Alexandra's Grant move to Los Angeles following her MFA.
Put yourself in Grant's shoes: you start out small, group shows, a little curation, a solo show in a gallery or two. You develop a word bubble style, become known for your skills in reverse writing, and get a big break in 2007 with your first solo museum show, part of the MOCA Focus series to bring attention to less known artists, get gallery representation -- and then the bottom drops out of the market.
The crash was global, and the impact lingered. Museums had to scale back shows, there was less corporate sponsorship for show tours or fairs, collectors scaled back their purchases at auction or in galleries, and even sold off parts of their collections, and other forms of financial support for residencies or grants were reduced.
Additional financial impacts are described well in this Guardian article:
In my previous post I discussed the ways in which, since 2008, Grant developed multiple strands of activity: art philanthropy, art book authorship, and eventually publishing, to her initial identity as a textual artist. She then leveraged these elements to construct a public persona that seems designed to produce a form of celebrity based on public praise rather than substantive work.
Is it possible that Grant developed these side gigs as a survival strategy? If so, this could explain what appears to be a kind of "pause" in her studio art career, where the Antigone 3000 series she announced in 2015 doesn't get gallery display until 2019. By 2019 museum expansion projects seem to have restarted, fairs were becoming bigger than ever, and auctions had rebounded. But then... Covid.
Perhaps the 2020-2022 turn to remote shows, etc. helped stimulate Grant's new-found interest in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. If so, she may be on the verge of a third disappointment.

Expensive Bad Bunny Tickets
Madison Zhuang (SID: 64886057)
Michelle Quevedo (SID: 57325267)
Introduction:
The concert industry is a key place where the principles of economics can be applied. From the array of producers (different artists) to the varying kinds of consumers (super fans or casual fans of an artist), it is possible to apply the principles to many situations within this industry. As avid concert goers, we have both had our fair share of waiting in an online queue to get concert tickets, comparing prices, and determining whether our want for this product is worth the price. 
Scenario:
While recently excited to get tickets for the Los Angeles show of the new Bad Bunny tour, we were faced with the shocking prices for tickets on the Ticketmaster website as the prices were costly, much higher than other shows we had been to for an artist of similar popularity. 
After learning about supply and demand, we came together and realized how this concept is seen everywhere, even in the entertainment industry. We then understood that the reason for these prices was because of the high demand since Bad Bunny has recently grown to become very popular. 
A normal supply and demand curve would look like this: 
Tumblr media
Bad Bunny tour announcement for LA show, causing ticket demand to increase from fans:
Tumblr media
The venue for the LA show, Crypto Arena, serves as the supply since tickets are based on seat availability. The supply is inelastic because the supply cannot change based on prices and the supply cannot change unless the venue builds more seating capacity. LA is a popular location for concerts, attracting potential concert-goers from many cities within Southern California. There is still a limited number of seats available despite demand being high.  This causes the demand curve to shift but since the supply curve can’t, the price equilibrium increases.
In addition to this, a growing trend we see in the concert industry is resellers purchasing the tickets at face value and selling them to other people for a higher price. This is a trend that is long-standing due to the demand still being high enough despite the change in price. Consumers who would see this price as too high would drop out of the market, but there are still many consumers who are willing to pay this price. As a result, when the price increases, demand still increases: 
Tumblr media
In other cities, during the day of the show, ticket prices have decreased dramatically, this is due to the decrease in demand for tickets since many fans have already purchased tickets or given up on buying them: 
Tumblr media
We will have to check the day of the concert to see if prices will go down, but since demand in LA is always high, we will have to hope people give up on getting last-minute tickets so we can afford it.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has partnered with Drop co-founder and CEO Benjamin Benichou to create a series of non-fungible token (NFT) posters. The French soccer giant on Sept. 21 announced a partnership with Benichou, a Los Angeles-based artificial intelligence (AI) artist and co-founder of social commercial platform Drop, to create a series of matchday NFTs. Paris Saint-Germain continues to explore exciting new avenues in the fields of art and technology. This season the club is working with the artistic director Benjamin Benichou to create a unique collection of match posters using artificial intelligence.https://t.co/Ay8nza7nLK— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) September 21, 2023 The NFTs will take the form of match posters depicting many of PSG’s historic moments and will be available exclusively on Crypto.com’s NFT platform.  According to the club, the series will comprise 1,970 AI-assisted artworks, with seven set to become official match posters for seven crucial matches during the 2023-2024 season. The NFTs will be freely distributed to eligible Crypto.com users on the respective matchdays. Holders will also get the chance to win an assortment of prizes, including signed shirts from PSG players and physical prints of the original artwork. According to PSG brand director Fabien Allègre, the partnership with Benichou and Crypto.com will allow the club and its fans to understand AI and its possibilities better. “We are delighted with this first experience, the result is impressive. This collaboration with Benjamin Benichou allowed us to better understand this new tool, which, when put at the service of creation, opens up an unimaginable field of possibilities.” Fabien Allègre, Brand Director, PSG PSG has a previous history with crypto and NFTs. Three years ago, it launched a Socios-powered Android app to enable fans to earn tokens by engaging with the club. The tokens allowed their holders to vote on specific issues affecting the football club. In 2021, news reports claimed that one of PSG’s most decorated players, Lionel Messi, who now plies his trade at Inter Miami CF, would receive part of his wages in crypto.    However, the French club’s latest foray into NFTs comes on the back of a recent dappGambl report claiming that nearly 95% of all non-fungible token collections have no value. The report analyzed 73,267 collections, of which 69,795, held by about 23 million people, were virtually worthless, with market caps of 0 ETH. Additionally, the report indicated that only 21% of NFT collections had full ownership, meaning 79% remained unsold. Source

Blockchain Exhibits At Centre Pompidou And LACMA
The Centre Pompidou in Paris on February 10 announced that it had purchased eighteen NFTs by thirteen artists renowned for their work in the genre. The acquisition, which encompasses crypto art, plastic arts, net art, and generative art, is the first of its kind by a major French art institution, and expands on the Pompidou’s history of acquiring work in new media. “Web3 is an innovative territory that artists have now seized upon to create original and daring work,” said Pompidou director Xavier Rey in a statement, “and this collection reaffirms our support for artists in their conquest of new means of expression, which is the foundation of modern art.”
On the other side of the globe, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on February 13 revealed that it had received a gift of twenty-two blockchain artworks from a donor using the handle Cozomo de’Medici. LACMA characterized the gift as the “largest collection of its kind” to enter a US museum. Among the artists represented in the donation are Dmitri Cherniak, Cai Guo-Quiang, Matt DesLauriers, Monica Rizzoli, and Claire Silver. AI works, photos, the first decentralized book ever to be minted to the Ethereum blockchain, and NFTs are included in the trove, which is believed to have been donated pseudonymously by Snoop Dogg. Known to be an advocate of Web3 and crypto, the iconic rapper in 2021 seemingly drew back the veil on his identity in a tweet.
“With this gift, my goal was to help bridge the worlds of on-chain art and contemporary art, which until now have existed separately,” Cozomo de’Medici said in a statement. “I’m thrilled to have these historically significant on-chain works contextualized beside many iconic works of art in LACMA’s collection.”

Bankman-Fried Arrested in Nassau
LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Dec. 14, 2022.--Silicon Valley crypto-billionaire and once wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried, 30,  was arrested in Nassau, Bahamas today, denied bail and remanded until Feb. 8, 2023 to the notorious overcrowded rat, vermin-invested Fox Hill prison.  Considered a math genius at his 56,620 a year Silicon Valley pre-school, where he eventually graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT] in 2020.  Denied bail by a Bahamian judge, Bamankman-Fried was hugged by his parents, both former Stanford University law professors.  Bankman-Fried started the crypto-currency trading platform and hedge fund in 2019, duping investors in a multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme, whose net worth was over $20 billion.  When investors demanded to cash out, Bankman-Fried declared bankruptcy Nov. 11, leaving at least 100 million creditors with a debt exceedting $3.1 billion, in yet another Wall Street Ponzi scheme.
U.S. Securities and Exchange [SEC] and Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC], through the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, accused Bankman-Fried of defrauding billions from investors in the biggest scam since the walls caved in on former Nasdaq chief Bernie Madoff.Dec. 11, 2008.  Fried lived high-on-the-hog as a billionaire crypto-currency trader, capitalizing on zealous investors from all walks of life looking to making a killing in the esoteric crypto-currency market, something hailed by industry leaders Bitcoin and CoinBase as the currency of the future.  Founded by fictitious Satoshi Nakamoto in 2010, Bitcoin took off like rocket, one reaching $50,0000 before collapsing to $15,000 in 2022.  Bankman-Fried emulated Bitcoin, creating FTX by attracting over one million investors to engage in wild crypto-currency speculation.
When former President Bill Clinton, during the dot.com bubble, ended the 1933 depression-era Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, prohibiting banks from stock market investing, it opened the door to Bernie Madoff and other con artists like Bankman-Fried.  Sitting in the medical war of Fox Hill prison awaiting his extradition Feb. 8, Bankman-Fried has plenty of time to mount his defense, claiming accounting errors for the massive Ponzi scheme fraud perpetrated on investors.  Bankman-Fried had no compunction about buying himself luxury real estate, cars and jewelry before his abrupt Nov. 11 bankruptcy proceeding.  Charged in federal court with securities fraud, bank fraud, money laundering and campaign finance violations, Bankman-Fried can only wait.  Bankman-Fried’s attorney parents reportedly laughed an acted inappropriately in the Bahamian courtroom, attesting to their role in their son’s scam.
FTX’s sudden collapse happened when CoinBase reported a highly concentrated  position in self-issued FTT coins that Bankman-Fried’s hedge fund, Alameda Research, used as collateral for billions in FTX crypto loans.  Another crypto exhange, Binance, said it would sell its stake in FTT, spurring the run-on-the-bank that exposed FTX as another Wall Street Ponzi scheme.  FTX froze all its assets and declared bankruptcy immediately after Binance tried to sell its stake in FTT.  SEC and CFTC indicated that FTX had commingled customer funds with Bankman-Fried’s hedge fund, announcing that billions in customer deposits had disappeared.  Glass-Steagall’s protection were aimed at keeping institutional investors like commercial banks from engaging in the wild speculation seen in crypto-currency market, a unique space hyped by Bitcoin’s Satochi Nakamato as the currency of the future.
Nakamoto claimed that never before in human history had currency trading been so advanced, so sophisticated, so perfected by today’s new computer technology, allowing currencies to survive in perpetuity based on evolving sophisticated technology.  Whatever technology the math whiz Bankman-Fried used, it satisfied investors insatiable appetite for unprecedented profits, all based on Bankman-Fied’s con artist sales job.  Bankman-Fried told a Nassau judge yesterday that he was down to $100,000, an astonishing fall-from-grace after claiming a net worth of $20 billion   When Bankman-Fried faces security fraud charges in Federal Court in 2023, it’s going to take more than attributed the collapse to accounting errors.  Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced Nov. 18 to 11 years in federal prison for her scam blood-testing company.  What happens to Bankman-Fried, should be far more egregious.
Watching another spoiled, arrogant entrepreneur con investors into his crypto-currency Ponzi Scheme, the government is likely to come down on Bankman-Fried with a ton of bricks.  “We allege that Sam Bankman-Fried built a house of cards on a foundation of deception while telling investors that it was one of the safest buildings in crypto,” SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said Dec. 13 in a statement.  However the trial eventually shakes out, Bankman-Fried, who claims he’s down to his last $100,000, will mount a rigorous defense, blaming the run-of-the-bank to accounting discrepancies beyond his control.  FTX secured $1.1 billion from about 90 U.S.-based investors according to the SEC, alleging he raised 1.8 billion total in investments.  Bankman-Fried has a long time to sit in Nassau’s notorious Fox Hill prison to think about what he plans to tell a federal court.

2, 3, 9 and 22 for the end of year asks!
2. Album of the year?
An awful lot of my faves released music this year and it was tough to pick a favorite but I think I'm going to have to go with Indigo by RM just because it made me feel the most things. Kim Namjoon, the man you are!
3. Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?
Oh good question! I'm gonna say Rainbow Kitten Surprise! I enjoyed a lot of their stuff and it's perfect when you want to mindlessly sing along or just be in your feels.
22. Favorite place you visited this year?
I didn't do a lot of traveling this year but I got to see the Crypto arena in Los Angeles for the first time when I went to Kcon and it was unbelievably gorgeous. I've been to LA countless times but that was my first time there and I really enjoyed that!
Thank you lovely!

Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers Tour: Los Angeles y COCOA!
The time has finally come. I will be attending the “Big Steppers” tour in L.A., purposely missing it in Dallas. I refused to watch anyone’s IG story who attended that show. Once the dates were released, I wanted to see KDot in either Brooklyn or Oakland (I have never been to either). Considering how greedy resellers can be, the Brooklyn GA tix averaged $3k when they originally sold for $200. Let’s just say, Brooklyn was out of the question, expeditiously. Oakland was out of the question as well, so we headed to my second home, the beautiful ‘City of Angels.’
Flight over.
It was a semi-chilly evening in downtown L.A. My god-sister and I would visit the Grammy Museum in L.A. Live. Side Note: Anytime I travel to L.A., I make sure to visit the Grammy Museum. It houses some of the greatest items in Grammy history. The exhibits often change, but over the years, I could always count on Michael Jackson’s sparkly jackets to have a permanent home. After exploring all areas, we got food nearby to stall for time.
Walking over to the Crypto.com Arena, I noticed multiple groups of people standing around the entrances, however, there was a sperate entrance for those who obtained floor tix. Staff escorted us to check in to receive our “special” wristbands. As an avid concertgoer, there was something different about getting into this show. There were numbers on the wristbands. The numbers would indicate where you are in line. This would not allow for anyone to “cut” in front of you, due to the ticket scanning process. This was a first and honestly, quite impressive. People get really “ballsy” at these things, especially when there isn’t assigned seating. Amazing!
Random: We stood in line for 30 minutes before the doors opened for us, however, I took in the scenery to observe the fashions around me. Unfortunately, every other person had on Dunks or Yeezys. I can barely remember, everyone sorta blended in. Nothing really stood out. Honestly, I’m almost certain I was overdressed. Teehee.
Top: H&M
Denim: American Eagle
Sneakers: Air Max 1
Crossbody: LuLa B’s (Dallas vintage store)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Everything flowed as it was supposed to. Doors opened, tickets were scanned, and we were in! The GA/ VIPs were allowed in first, so walking into a semi-dark (and empty) Crypto Arena was a little scary. Maybe that was the point, considering the theme of the show. A lot of interesting things will soon take place.
I quickly made my way down the stairs to the floor and created my designated standing spot on the metal dividers. I looked around and for a half hour, the arena was still scarce. I guess one could blame the L.A. traffic for everyone’s delay. *Fast forward*
As attendees slowly poured in, the show would begin with Tanna Leone as the opener. The L.A. native is the third artis to be signed to Lamar’s pgLang label. After sharing his EP with Dave Free (co-founder of pgLang), Leone expresses in an interview that the signing happened organically. Leone performed “Picasso” from his debut album, Sleepy Soldier. The west coast artist includes a lot of melodic tunes in his raps, exhibiting plenty of versatility in his sound.
BABY KEEM, the breakout star and is the first signee on the pgLang label. He also happens to be the cousin of our beloved KDot. Having produced and collaborated with Lamar on various projects, Baby Keem has displayed artistry in his own right. Lamar has publicly claimed Baby Keem to be a “musical genius.” Opening with “Trademark USA” which was also a crowd favorite. Attendees were hyped during the chorus of “Shout out to the dead, to the dead, to the dead!” They loved it. We look forward to what Baby Keem will do next!
Once his set was over, the room became completely dark, and a skit played. One would appreciate how steady the show moved. No outlandish delays, just consideration for the 30+ gang. The time is now. The black sheet that covered the runway was removed, exposing a white sheet underneath. The stage is dark, but the runway now filled with light, and “horror movie” violin sounds begin playing. The dancers robotically march out, hunching their shoulders to the beat, while taking their places in line. The guys in black suits, gals in white suits. This is giving Jordan Peele “US” vibes to say the least.
The curtains rise and you could see Lamar sitting at an upright piano, with a ventriloquist doll that resembled him sitting atop. He gets up from the piano with the puppet in arm, making his way down the runway to display their matching ensemble. Lamar is also wearing a “Michael Jackson” glove, paying homage to the King of Pop. He simply stands there for a moment and the crowd goes wild! I could not stop screaming, because dude was really gone for 5 years! He wasn’t in the media, he was featured on a few songs, but no interviews, no press, no nothing. I was thrilled to see him again after only seeing him once in 2013 during the good kid, m.a.a.ad city tour.
Kendrick opened with N95 from the “Big Steppers” album, getting everyone tuned in to sing along. An outburst of fireworks covered the stage and it was on! Lamar sorta takes us on a journey to his more hype singles from good kid, m.a.a.d city album to Big Steppers, to DAMN, back to Big Steppers, to “Pimp A Butterfly,” back to Damn- You get it? After several songs, so much happiness came over me. I absolutely love music and this form of art is the type of communication I enjoy most. Its the relationship the artist provides between what they’re feeling and how they connect with their audience. It’s almost inexplainable, but other music heads will feel me.
Although Lamar didn’t provide much conversation in between songs, he just kept performing, giving the fans what they wanted. There were many points throughout the set where true symbolism was displayed, but unless you were WOKE-woke, it could’ve gone over your head, for example, Lamar “took” a COVID test mid-show, but “IFKYK.” Even I questioned some of it, but when you’re hyper-focused on the actual experience, you question, did the dancers represent his demons? Why was there a doll? Doesn’t this choreography seem creepy? What is the true theme of this show? Through each performance, Lamar doesn’t give “choreography” but very cool, slow-mo type dances. Quietly ending the show back at the keys of the piano, Lamar fades away.
These elements are clearly outlines of his artistry and thought process-something not even a journalist could conceptualize, but an avid concertgoer could appreciate—It’s art. He’s much more than a conscious rapper, Lamar is a visionary.

Yesterday, August 9, The Sandbox announced that it is working with entrepreneur, DJ, and original crypto queen Paris Hilton to build her virtual Malibu Mansion. The Sandbox is bringing the star's world to the metaverse with the help of Hilton's company, 11:11 Media. With this change, her fans and the people in her community will have a brand-new way to talk to the star. About the Paris Hilton Malibu Mansion Paris Hilton was one of the first people to use Web3. She has been a vocal supporter of NFTs, metaverses, and everything Web3-related for a long time. Her new partnership with The Sandbox makes her Web3 presence even stronger.

For example, Hilton will host social and community events in the virtual mansion, such as rooftop parties and other glitzy social events.

"I can't wait to bring Paris World into the metaverse even more," said Paris Hilton. "My team is working hard to give my fans an amazing real-life experience with the help of my amazing partner The Sandbox." So far, neither The Sandbox nor Paris Hilton has given any more information about the virtual Malibu Mansion. Most likely, we'll find out more in the coming days and weeks. As was already said, Paris Hilton was one of the first famous people to get involved in the Web3 world. She began investing in cryptocurrency as early as 2016. Later, in 2019, Hilton made her first non-financial asset (NFA). She sold it for charity in March 2020. In fact, at the NFT Awards ceremony, her piece won "Best Charity NFT." In April of the next year, Hilton released her NFT collection. At the time, a piece from this called "Iconic Crypto Queen" sold for $1.1 million. She not only makes her own NFTs, but she also loves to collect them. Paris Hilton bought Bored Ape #1294 at the beginning of this year. It is the most expensive NFT she owns right now. She even showed off the NFT on the TV show of Jimmy Fallon. She also helps people mint their NFTs as a consultant and investor at Origin Protocol. Recently, she worked with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on a fund that helps women artists who work in digital media. https://nftdawn.io/paris-hilton-is-building-a-mansion-in-the-sandbox-metaverse/?feed_id=1522&_unique_id=62f3892021ed1
